V1.Chapter 117

After King Wuheng was killed, the morale of the Huns fell sharply, and Yu Shaoqing used King Wuheng's body to lure them back hundreds of miles.

But it should not be taken lightly. After all, there are 100,000 Xiongnu troops stationed in the northwest camp, and it is easy to counterattack them.

Although the death of King Wuheng temporarily relieved the urgent need, it also brought a greater crisis, and the Huns were bound to seek revenge for King Wuheng at all costs.

Can't face the Huns anymore...

"How long will it take to dig through the canyon?" Yu Shaoqing asked with a stern expression.

"Come on, Commander!" said a soldier named Gui'er.

After Yan Congming returned, he was the highest official here, but for some reason, everyone still consciously obeyed Yu Shaoqing.

Yan Congming pouted and was about to regain command when Yu Shaoqing called with a cold look, "Shut up!"

Yan Congming closed his mouth aggrieved.

Yu Shaoqing wanted to fulfill General Xiao's last order, and there was no room for slippage. Although everyone didn't know the inside story, they all followed him without distraction.

Yan Congming is like an isolated individual. As long as he wants to stay in the team, he had better hold his tail obediently.

Daniel died, and he was killed by the Huns with two new recruits who had joined the army two days earlier than him. The recruits lacked battlefield experience and were most likely to be cannon fodder under the enemy's sword.

"Da Niu died to save me..." Xiaoyu cried out of breath, "I am a cripple... What did he do to save me..."

Wu San said nothing, patted him on the shoulder, and buried the bodies of the three Daniels together with the brothers.

Daniel is a very good recruit. He has even surpassed many old scouts who have received secret training. He should not die here. If he is cultivated, he will definitely play a greater role in the battlefield in the future.

Wu San lamented and handed the three iron cards to Yu Shaoqing.

Yu Shaoqing put the iron card into a wooden box wrapped in white cloth, which was full of the iron cards of the deceased soldiers, with General Xiao's lying on top.

Maybe one day, his iron medal will also be placed here, so that the surviving soldiers can be taken back to his hometown.

"Captain, you've dug through!" Gui'er said.

"Let's go." Yu Shaoqing closed the wooden box.

Daniel was dead, and an old soldier who had recovered from frostbite took over the responsibility of scout and explored the way ahead.

The crowd supported each other and followed.

A young and strong figure followed the team not far or near. He was the only soldier who did not listen to Yu Shaoqing's orders, and he was also the only person who did not fit in with the group. He held a sword in his arms, and his eyes were sad and dull. , like an abandoned orphan.

"Look at Lao Yu." Wu San tugged at Yu Shaoqing's arm.

Yu Shaoqing glanced back and said helplessly, "General Xiao's death has dealt a great blow to him."

"I heard that he was picked up by General Xiao, did you see that sword? It's General Xiao's personal saber, and I gave it to him." Wu San said in a low voice, "When the Huns rushed over, he was almost red-eyed. , but also saved the lives of many brothers."

If not, they are afraid that they will not be able to survive Lao Yu's return, and they will all be killed by the swords of the Huns.

"What's his name?" Yu Shaoqing couldn't remember his name for a while.

Wu Sandao: "Zhou Huai."

...

It has been half a month since the bad news of the Northwest Camp was introduced to the capital. The urgent military information of 800 li was presented to the imperial study. If the emperor was hit in the head, the whole person froze!

The military and aircraft ministers looked at each other in dismay. The emperor's face was not quite right. If such a big thing happened, shouldn't it be thunder and anger? Why does it look like... as if you were stunned?

To talk about this accident, they are also wronged. There has been news from the border that the 100,000-strong army of the Huns is advancing into Youzhou at full speed and is preparing to launch a general attack on Youzhou on New Year's Eve. Who would have expected that the information was wrong, the real Huns army Diverted to the Northwest Camp.

The entire army in the northwest camp was wiped out, and there was no one to live. Naturally, there was no way to spread the news. It was because the nearby camp was out of food and grass. I wanted to go to the northwest camp to borrow food and grass, only to find out by accident that the camp had been captured by the Huns. .

According to the soldier who borrowed food and grass, all the Huns had changed into the armor of the Northwest Army, and some of them also spoke very fluent Chinese. If it wasn't for a Huns pretending to be his fellow countryman, he would not have noticed. This gang is fake.

He didn't show any strangeness, just got the food and left.

First, the military situation was wrong, and then the northwest camp was slaughtered, but there was no news from the imperial court.

It is also because this soldier has a big life. The camp he is in is not affiliated with Youzhou, so there is no need to send news to Youzhou. Otherwise, he will go back and forth and let Youzhou's meticulous work take advantage of the loopholes. Not to mention military intelligence, he will even lose his life.

The emperor's face became very ugly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the military ministers fell to their knees.

Just when they were waiting to bear the emperor's thunderous wrath, the emperor suddenly got up and left without looking back!

Ministers: "..."

The emperor went to the dungeon and met Gao Yuan in person.

Gao Yuan was imprisoned for half a month, and he became very weak. He knew why the emperor came, and it was because he knew that he burst into tears on the spot.

The emperor clenched his fists and said with restraint, "Really...is there any survivors?"

"Also... there is one person alive." Gao Yuan said with difficulty.

"Who?" asked the emperor.

Gao Yuan was about to say the name accumulated in his chest, but he was exhausted and fainted.

"Master Gao!" Eunuch Wang stepped forward and pinched Gao Yuanzhong, but to no avail.

"There are still people alive..." The emperor murmured thoughtfully, "Who would it be?"

Eunuch Wang pondered: "Could it be General Xiao? General Xiao is brave. If there is anyone who can break out of the siege, the servant thinks, he will be the only one left."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Eunuch Wang didn't have the guts to talk too much about national affairs, he just looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, Master Gao has fainted, so the servant should ask for an imperial physician?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Send the sacrificial wine back to the house, and instruct the imperial physician to take care of him, and make sure that he is safe and sound."

With a sigh of sacrifice, Gao Yuanguan was restored to his original position.

Wang Gonggong thought that this Gao Yuan was really powerful. Offending the emperor, he was the first person in history.

The emperor summoned the commander of the imperial guards again: "Go and tell Xiao Zhenting that his nephew escaped from the northwest camp alive and is on his way to Youzhou, so let him go to meet him in person."

"In person?" The commander of the Imperial Guard was stunned, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I know what I'm doing, you just go."

"...Yes." The Imperial Guards clasped their fists, and went to the Xiao residence with a complicated expression.
